NEGKTIE.

Application filed November 18, 1921. Serial No. 516,036.

T all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Grnsnrrn F. Pixsorr, a citizen of th United States, residing in the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and

5 State of New York, have invented an Tmprovenient in Neckties, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a neck tie, and more particularly to that type of neck tie commonly designated as a four-in-hand tie. In the use of this type of neck tie with the so called turned down or turned over collars, now so commonly worn, difficulty has been experienced in moving the knot in the tie after the same has been made to the desired position between the front edges of the collar. This is due largely to the fact that the tie is placed between the parts of the collar, which when in position, are so closely placed together as to make it difficult to slip or slide the tie to position.

The object of my present invention is to overcome this difficulty and to provide a four-in-hand tie in the use of which after 2 the knot has been made the knot may be moved, or caused to slide on the end members of th tie, in such amanner as not to disturb the position of the neck band of the tie in the place which it assumes between the parts of the collar.

In carrying out the invention, therefore, the four-inhand neck tie made in accordance therewith, preferably comprises a body portion, the neck band portion and end members around which the knot of the tie may be made, and when thus made moved to position as hereinbefore stated between the front edges of the collar, without disturbing or shifting th neck band portion of the tie as will be hereinafter more particularly described.

In the drawing Fig. 1 is an elevation, showing the rear or back of the tie as made in accordance wit-h my invention.

Fig. 2 is a plan of the reverse side of the form of the tie, shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 is a cross section on line 33, Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawing, the four-inhand tie made in accordance with this invention preferably comprises a body member 10 at one end of the tie, which terminates in an end portion 11, or appreciably smaller width. The other portion of the tie comprises an end member 12 at one extremity of which there is suitably fixed, an eye or loop 13 which may be'made of metal or other similar material, and through which the reduced end 11 of the body member 10 is threaded as clearly indicated in the drawing.

As shown in Fig. l of the drawing after the reduced end 11 of the body member 10 has been threaded through the eye 13, it, that is the reduced end, is turned back so as to assume a position substantially parallel with the body member 10 and with the body member 10 to form a continuation of the end member 12 in which position the parts are placed around the neck of the wearer for use.

In the use of the ties hereinbe-fore described the parts are placed in the turned down collar in the usual manner, so as to project beyond the front edges of the collar. In the form of the invention shown in the drawing the end 11 is then placed over, and upon a portion of the end 12 and the body portion 10 folded over both the end 11 and the end member 12 and knotted in the manner usually employed in making the knot in the four-in-ha-nd tie, and then as will be apparent, the knot may be moved or shifted upwardly on the ends 11 and 12. By this action the knot slides on the end 12 in the usual manner, and in accordance the end 11 is shiftable in the eye or loop 13, which action, as will be understood, places the knot in the desired position centrally between the ends of the collar without shifting the neck band portion thereof to any extent whatsoever.

It will furthermore be understood that while I have hereinbefore referred to the use of my improved neck tie with 2, turned over collar, its use is not so limited, as it may be employed with another form of collar. Also that while I have illustrated what seems to be the preferred form of the invention, other forms may be employed which effect the same result without departing from the nature and the spirit of the invention.

I claim as my invention,

1. A four-in-hand tie comprising an end member, a loop at one extremity of the end member, and a body member, with one end thereof threaded through the said loop and turned back against the body member so that the body member and that portion thereof threaded through the loop form continuations of the end member whereby the body member may be folded over the end member and that portion of the body memher which is threaded through the loop to form a knot which is slidabie on both the end member and that portion of the body member threaded through the loop.

2. A four-in-hand tie comprising an end member, an eye secured to one extremity of the end member, and abody member having one end thereof reduced in Width and threaded through the said eye, that portion of the reduced end of the body member Which is threaded through the eye being turned back so that the same, together With the adjacent portions of the body member form a continuation of the end member whereby the end member and the reduced end of the body member may be associated and the body member folded over the same to form a knot which is slidable on both the end member and the reduced end of the body member.

Signed by me this 5th day of November, 1921.
